Ever Changing


Last night's outfit was inspired by one of H&M's recent catalogs:

I packed this liquid leather look pencil skirt for the trip with plans to wear with 3 different tops. So here is outfit #2 with the skirt. Simple graphic grey tee and gladiator heels.

 Found this super cute photo shoot spot on the resort and have been wanting to utilize it. Since it was Mother's Day my husband couldn't reject and took my photos there before we started our evening…





T-Shirt - Stylemint
Skirt - Forever 21
Heels - Nine West

SATURDAY & SUNDAY:
Saturday we rented a car and left the resort to hike the Waimea Valley to the waterfall which is the only hike the little girls could probably endure. We had swim suits on so when we got to the waterfall we put on the required life vests and dove into the icy cold fresh water. The rocks were brutal but once you got in it was amazing. My friend couldn't get in with her 'boot' so she took our photos from the top instead…













Then we drove to various beaches along the route to find turtles on the beach. One beach they were clearly seen riding the waves but they remained in the water. The kids had fun getting close to the waves and watching them…
Finally we found the beach they were on the sand but that wasn't nearly as fun for the kids cause they weren't allowed to play in the waves there…

Peplum Perfect

 Here is my outfit to dinner our 2nd night in Hawaii…
I found this pretty peplum top at Anthropologie's clearance rack one day a few months ago. I loved that the neck was a sweetheart opening instead of the high neck that seems to cut me off. And the peplum is flat right on the tummy...






Top - Anthropologie
Skirt - Forever 21
Heels - Seychelles
Necklace - Thread Show

FRIDAY:
We remained on our time zone so going to bed 9 PM local time and waking up unfortunately due to our early riser kids around 6:30 AM…
My husband is taking my son downstairs to do school work for the week he is missing early in the morning so he is done by the time the whole group is up and ready. We have breakfasts included in our package so as a group went to the cafe for that then toured the kids club (called Auntie's House) and registered the kids.  Checked them in for hula dancing lessons in the morning while my girlfriend and I did the full body circuit workout on the beach provided by the resort. I was doing great all the way to the end but eating all that starch at breakfast and the sun and the heat caught up to me and I wasn't feeling so hot. Recovered though and picked up the kids and got them in swim suits and spent the day by the pool trying out the slides and the lazy river.
Had lunch at a pool side cafe and they had a huge disney pool party with all sorts of dancing and pool games for the kids.
Afterwards we checked in the kids to the club for canoe racing, eruption disruption and dinner!
While we went out to a nice dinner ourselves.
Then picked them up and settled in on the lawn for a movie night to watch Pocahontas but the group was wiped out and half of them fell a sleep!
Another early night for all of us!
